TALK THAT TALK

As I'm sure you all know, mac have recently released their second collaboration collection with Rihanna - RiRi <3 MAC Fall. I had been so excited for the collection after seeing Rihanna post pictures on her instagram leading up to the release and knew I had to get my hand on the beautiful dark plum lipstick she's wearing in the promo pictures...

I had been checking my local mac stores and the mac website every day and when I finally saw they had been released online they were already sold out :( so I went to my local mac store (I walk past everytime I go to the gym - uhoh!!) and to my surprise they still had everything left in stock but as a student (who also already has way too much make up) I decided I would just stick with my original plan and just get the 'Talk That Talk' lipstick, and here it is...

Firstly, the packaging. I've heard lots of people love the packaging and lots of people hate it, but I personally think it's gorgeous! I love the metallic pink/gold colour and think it's really glamourous!

and the actual lipstick. It's a retro matte finish, which can be quite drying, that gives a really dramatic look which is perfect for the autumn/winter season and also very in fashion this season! I have been using this for nights out this week and due to the retro matte finish it lasts really well! All in all a lovely lipstick and I would definitely recommend trying it if you can find it!

FAVOURITES || September

I know we all say it every month but WOW! where has the year gone? I can't believe we're already in October! I'm back at uni now and back to the hard work but also back to fun nights out with my uni friends! I've just selected a few of the products I've been reaching for a lot this month and have been really enjoying

1. Victorias Secret PINK fresh and clean

I love the scent of this body splash, and there isn't really a better way to describe it other than the obvious...fresh and clean! It has good lasting power for a body spray and this is great just for spritzing a few times before I leave the house for uni or the gym or something.

2. Urban Decay 24/7 glide on liner in "Demolition"

I got this as part of set from sephora and was really pleased as I wanted to try out the urban decay liners as I'd heard such great things about them staying put and not smudging and we all know the panda eye isn't a great look! The liner has a black and brown end but I've been finding myself reaching for the brown end (demolition) as it gives such a nice soft and natural look for the eyes and really does stay put - perfect!

3. Revlon Lash Potion

This may actually be my favourite mascara EVER! It gives such length and volume to my lashes I only need 1 coat for day time wear and only two for a nightout to give a more dramatic look! I haven't really been monitoring my lash length then so I can't really say if the growing promise is true or not but still all in all a great mascara

4. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo

This is another raved about product and this month I decided it was time to start taking better care of my skin and this was the first product on my list due to its anti-imperfections claim. This really is a miracle product and has really helped clear my skin up - and quickly too!! I have tried so many things to clear my skin and this is in the handful of products that actually makes a difference - love it!

5. False lashes in general!

I've always wanted to wear false lashes but could never master the art of putting them on but one of my lovely housemates puts them on for me now and I'm starting to learn how to do it myself!! I love the look they give for a night out and how they add to a dramatic eye look, looking forward to trying different styles!

What have been your favourites this month? Any the same as me?

REVIEW || EOS lip balms

Right, we've now got baby lips in the UK, now we need EOS lip balms! Not only is packaging awesome, they are actually really nice moisturising lip balms that come in a variety of flavours! I also love the fact that the packaging is the colour of the flavour and that they're nice and colourful. They make me happy just looking at them and even happier smelling them and applying them to my lips!

As you can see I picked up more than a handful in America, but you can pick them online HERE! at a slightly increased price but they're definitely worth trying if you're a lip product hoarder like myself! I would recommend the blueberry acaai and strawberry sorbet in particular and the sweet mint is nice if you like minty lipbalm!

Have you tried EOS? What colour do you like?

Any other lip balm recommendations?

Thanks for reading!
